Filipino-American NBA star Jordan Clarkson expressed excitement about joining the New York Knicks and connecting with the city’s large Filipino community.
After signing with the Knicks following a buyout from the Utah Jazz, Clarkson praised the energy and pride surrounding the team and the city’s basketball culture.
He emphasized playing with confidence and pride, representing not just the team but the entire city and its fans.
Clarkson, a former NBA Sixth Man of the Year, is expected to provide a strong offensive boost off the bench, addressing the Knicks’ previous struggle with bench scoring.
